FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MOVIE MACHINE PRO, Video Overlay, Mixing and Output Device

Munich, 20. May   -- after Screen Machine II the
interpersonal-computing now made available the latest FAST product,
the Movie Machine Pro for NEXTSTEP.

===================================================================
MOVIE MACHINE PRO
The MOVIE MACHINE PRO combines four features on one board: VIDEO
overlay, TV-Tuner, framegrabber and VIDEO editing. The MOVIE MACHINE
PRO digitizes true color with studio quality regardless whether the
source is an external composite video signal or the internal
TV-Tuner. The live video may be sized or positioned  anywhere on the
computer screen. The digitized image can be stored at any time as
TIFF or printed out for further uses. No scanner could be faster!
Naturally you may put any of the input signals or stored images back
to video.

Connect your local antenna or cable to the MOVIE MACHINE PRO and you
have Instant-TV on your desktop. The fully software controllable
TV-Tuner provides you with live news, sport magazines or simply
comics whenever you click on your TV icon. The smart TV software
offers ready-to-run channel tables from over 120 countries equipped.
Want some more? Just start the automatic program search which will
find your favorite TV station.
The software option MMStudio provides you with your own Private
Desktop Video Studio. You can "cut", "mix", or "zoom" any combination
of  the live video sources and see the instantaneous results on a
video monitor or record them to a VCR. A realistic image of a T-Bar
controls effects like "wipe", "flip", and "move".  In addition,
composing images into the live video is supported by color-, chroma-
and luma-keying. With the MMEffectEditor you may even create your own
effects for use in the MMStudio.

In combination with the CODY board you can record and play back
movies from and to video. The CODY digitizes a live video source
directly onto your harddisk. Once digitized you may use it in
NEXTIME, edit or play it back to video again.
